Hey Io,

So with the SDP client it does operate a little differently with regards to BW throughput, we in fact don't cap the SDP client (in most parts of the world anyway). 

Please review the KB here:

I've added our KB here further explaining the license types:

Regarding your second point, when using a VPN client (not just Catos), you're likely going to see reduced throughput, because of factors like adding tunnel overhead to secure your traffic for example. 

That said, if you see clients experiencing detrimental throughput when using the client, I would suggest raising a support ticket, so we can assist in figuring the problem out.

Ideally, we want your SDP users to benefit from our security services, so unless there is a specific use case to bypass the Cato Cloud. We want you to enjoy the SASE solution to it's fullest.

 

Thanks
